Beach-Inspired Outdoor Shower Installation in Encinitas, CA

Edgar Neria • May 21, 2025

When you're located just minutes from the beach, a stylish and functional outdoor shower isn’t just a luxury, it’s a smart upgrade for both guests and property value. That’s exactly why the owner of this Encinitas Airbnb, working alongside LS Design Studio, contacted Team Renovate.

The goal? Create a beautiful, durable outdoor shower that guests could use to rinse off sandy feet and salty skin, while enhancing the property's coastal charm and long-term appeal.

The Challenge | Adding Functionality Without Sacrificing Style

The owner faced a common coastal property challenge:

Guests coming back from the beach would track water and sand indoors.
There was no dedicated space to rinse off, making it harder to keep the rental clean.
The solution needed to be both highly functional and visually appealing to elevate the Airbnb’s guest experience, and its market value.

Our Solution | A Custom Outdoor Shower Designed for Coastal Living

After meeting with the owner and LS Design Studio, we developed a full outdoor shower design that prioritized:

Privacy and style through custom-built wood enclosures.
Durability by using outdoor-rated materials designed to withstand moisture and coastal weather.
Spa-like comfort with a modern matte black rain-style shower system.
Proper drainage and safe surface leveling for easy and worry-free use.
Visual harmony by matching tile colors and wood finishes to the existing house and landscaping.

Every detail was planned to make the space feel natural, welcoming, and in tune with the laid-back Encinitas lifestyle.

The Installation Details | Built from the Ground Up

This was a ground-up installation, not a simple refresh. Our scope included:

Trenching and leveling the site to create proper slope and drainage.
Custom tile floor installation with an anti-slip finish for safety.
Mosaic pebble wall tile application for visual texture and coastal vibes.
New water line and outdoor plumbing installation.
Custom-built wood privacy panels and gates with modern hardware.
Finishing the surrounding area with decorative gravel and natural stone pavers for a cohesive, beachy look.

The result is a fully functional outdoor shower that not only improves convenience but enhances the entire property’s aesthetic.
